(Get the code!)
I actually do find this as a bug.
I have a 20G ATA drive in my system for backup purposes (I haven't spent the money, and don't really find it necessary to, on an external backup drive)... My primary drive is an 80G SATA.
Anyhow, when installing the system the installer finds the 80G as the primary drive and does assume the operating system to go on this drive; however, when GRUB is installed it installs to the ATA drive... then when I reboot the system for first boot to Kubuntu it gave me "Error Loading Operating System" so I was like "oh hell..."
However, I found that switching my drives in BIOS so the ATA drive was primary gave me access to GRUB... why wasn't GRUB installed onto my SATA drive? I don't think it's an error in the detection of the drives, because the SATA drive was listed as the first drive within the installer, but rather within the routine which installs GRUB on the system.
